Welcome to the next frontier of luxury off-roading. The Jetour Zongheng G700 isn’t just an SUV — it’s a declaration of how far Chinese automakers have come in combining rugged performance, intelligent hybrid technology, and first-class comfort.
Recently, this Chinese luxury SUV went viral after its jaw-dropping water-wading demonstration, where it confidently drove through deep water — proving that this plug-in hybrid SUV isn’t afraid to get its wheels wet.
The Water Crossing That Captured Global Attention
A viral video online shows the Jetour G700 navigating through a large body of water with calm confidence, maintaining a steady, upright stance throughout the test.
According to official data, the G700 achieved a maximum wading depth of 970 mm, supported by advanced chassis sealing, elevated air intake, and underbody protection typically seen only in hardcore off-road vehicles.
“The G700 can sail in water for up to 40 minutes with a fully water-resistant cabin and a maximum wading depth of 970 mm,” Jetour’s engineering team confirmed.
What does this mean for real-world users? It means the SUV can handle flooded roads, river crossings, or even adventurous trail routes with ease. The chassis stability system automatically adjusts suspension height and torque distribution, ensuring both safety and control during extreme conditions.
Powertrain: Hybrid Strength Meets Modern Efficiency
The Jetour Zongheng G700 features a plug-in hybrid powertrain combining a 2.0TD turbocharged gasoline engine with dual electric motors.
Together, they deliver a combined output of over 400 horsepower (300+ kW) and 680 Nm of torque, ensuring immediate throttle response both on-road and off-road.
The vehicle is built on Jetour’s advanced Kunpeng Super Power Platform, integrating an 800V electrical architecture. This allows ultra-fast DC charging — from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes — and supports energy recovery during downhill braking.
In pure-electric mode, the G700 offers an estimated 150 km of EV range, perfect for urban commuting with zero emissions. Once the battery depletes, the turbo engine seamlessly takes over, providing a total driving range exceeding 1,200 km under hybrid conditions.
Chassis, Suspension & Off-Road Systems
Underneath its boxy, commanding silhouette lies a sophisticated adaptive air suspension system that can raise or lower the ride height depending on terrain.
With multiple terrain modes (Sand, Mud, Snow, Rock, and Eco), the G700 automatically optimizes traction, torque distribution, and damping settings.
The intelligent 4WD system features electronic locking differentials and torque vectoring control, allowing precise power delivery to each wheel for enhanced grip.
The G700’s tank turn function enables it to pivot nearly 360 degrees in tight off-road conditions — a capability that sets it apart even among elite all-terrain vehicles.
For added durability, the SUV comes with a reinforced ladder-frame chassis, off-road tires, and a metal skid plate package, ensuring the G700 can withstand serious off-road punishment while maintaining ride comfort.
Cabin Luxury & Intelligent Technology
Step inside, and the Jetour G700 reveals its luxury DNA. The cabin is a blend of high-grade leather, brushed metal accents, and ambient LED lighting.
Depending on configuration, buyers can choose between five-seat or six-seat layouts with ventilated, heated, and massaging seats.
The dashboard is dominated by dual 15.6-inch curved digital displays, powered by Jetour’s Lion 5.0 intelligent operating system.
It supports voice control, gesture interaction, and OTA updates, ensuring the user experience remains cutting-edge.
A head-up display (HUD) projects key driving data directly onto the windshield, while the 360° panoramic camera and off-road camera mode help drivers navigate tight spaces or water crossings confidently.
Sound enthusiasts will appreciate the 14-speaker surround system with active noise cancellation (ANC), transforming the cabin into a serene luxury space even in challenging terrain.
Safety & Intelligent Driving
The G700 incorporates the latest ADAS 2.5+ driver-assistance suite, including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
These systems work in harmony with the vehicle’s surround radar and ultrasonic sensors to provide semi-autonomous driving capabilities — a hallmark of modern Chinese high-tech SUVs.
